"Relational Interventions: The Great Integration for Working with Complex Developmental Trauma"(3CE)

Free for Members

We’ve made important strides in our ability to help our clients overcome the symptoms of complex developmental trauma. Our strategies help them learn new thinking and self-regulation skills, and even find a new sense of restored well-being. Nonetheless, do our interventions truly help address the symptoms that our clients experience in relationships with friends and family, and at work?

Family and Couple Therapy is often the missing ingredient in our models of treatment. Once our clients leave the safe, rarified space we provide for them in our treatment rooms, do they have the cognitive and self-regulating skills necessary to manage those relationships at home. And as important, do their family members have the cognitive and self-regulating skills that they need to have healthy, non-traumatic relationships ?

Learn how to integrate systemic models of family, couple and relational therapy into effective treatment of complex –developmental trauma.
